Johannesburg - The New Year will see an even more intensified fight against employment equity violators, Labour Minister Membathisi Mdladlana said on Thursday.
He said in a statement that the department's investigation of such companies, which led to much controversy this year, was just the beginning.
"The issue of employment equity violation is going to be my project next year. Employment equity reports indicate that 11 years since our democracy, we have not moved much in the higher echelons of industry in terms of race and gender, while skills development reports indicate that only 2% of people with disabilities are participating in our programmes despite the new incentives that we have introduced," he said.
In September Mdladlana issued a stern warning to more than 1 200 companies which he claimed had not submitted equity reports for last year.
The warning caused much controversy when several JSE-listed companies denied that they had failed to adhere to employment equity legislation.
